Its an easy job.

Hi i would like to do painting for exterior wall only for back for single storey terrace house. Anyone to recommend ? Loacation at JB. Pls pm contact if any.

Hi...I have been quoted RM12k for a 2.5 storey semi-d. nippon/ici/Jotun paint included.

Is this rate reasonable??

I've gone through a couple recent pages and mostly see its quotations for bigger reno jobs. Anyone have a good painter to paint internally? It's a condo, need to repaint porch area, kitchen and room ceilings.. All same white color. I'm unsure which paints to use, so he/she may have to supply the paint as well. Location in KL. Most important is excellent workmanship and affordability. Used some Charlie guy a couple years ago, but paint's like flaking off d.

I have been quoted rm4500 for 2 Storey house excluding paint (interior&exterior) and excluding door. I guess in comparison yours is more expensive?

Hi,

Need advice from sifu

My house is 40 years old and the old paint starts to show peeling and looks hideous.

Want to know whether should I employ painter or DIY. Only want to do external only..

Anyone know roughly the cost? Terrance house, double storey.

I saw YouTube that you need to scrub the old paint. Do those kracher power spray helps?

Thanks for advice.

Hi, do you mind share the contact and where is the location. Thanks

Hi, do you mind share the contact and location. Thanks

power spray does help in removing old paint and also make a big mess on the surrounding when the water and old paint flying around, make sure your neighbor are okay with it

make sure you have ladder that can climb high enough to reach those places you want to paint

the steps will be:
1. scrub old paint with scraper or high pressure water spray
2. fix holes, remove old wall plug/nails/screws
3. thoroughly clean up and wipe the wall with water/thinner/acid/cleaner, make sure the surface is as clean as possible
4. mask and cover the areas that you dont want to paint with masking tapes
5. paint 1 or 2 coat of primer if you want longer lasting paint, if you painting on top of existing paint then maybe no need
6. if you change the color from light color to dark color or almost same color, you can directly paint the final paint, minimum 2 coat
6.1 if you change the color from dark to light color, paint a layer of white/grey acrylic emulsion to cover existing color, minimum 1 coat then apply final paint, minimum 2 coat
7. wipe off leftover paint at undesired spots, and cleanup surrounding (this step is very exhausting)

if you think you cant do the step above then hire someone else to do it, terrace house need to climb to roof of first floor to paint 2nd floor, make sure the roof is in good condition for you to stand on top and you have long enough stick for the roller to reach higher spot

do remember to talk to your neighbor about it and whether they are okay with it, especially the part of the wall at the porch that separate between you and the neighbor

hope that helps

Hi there,

I'm relatively amateur in my experience with painting but have had some, as well as developing skills in art and design etc. I've been asked to paint 4 walls for each room of a total of 10 rooms within one building. Each room will have 1 wall dedicated for some painted art decor.
In being asked to do this, I've also been asked to come up with how much I would charge for this to be done.
I will obviously include paints, equipment, transport in the sum but I was hoping someone here could help me come up with a reasonable asking price for the completion of this project. Taking into account that I'm not a professional. Any help would be much appreciated!
Anyone?

Much thanks in advance,

JvR

10 rooms, lets say is 3 condos circa 900sf per condo (assume 3 bedrooms)
One condo $1200 labour oni
Three condos $3600 labour oni
Can quote $4000 for labour only of flat paint.
Please add on according to the painted art decor complexity. Bear in mind specialty paints like Momento or Suzuka will need extra time to do nicely.

Because you will also probably need to invest in painting tools (roller, tray, ladder, trolley to get the paints on site).
Assume that the walls are all ready to be painted and no fixing of holes/defects required.
>> Else you need to add on sander (belt for heavy duty, else a rotary also can if its just a couple rooms) - lots of dust.
>> If you sand then u need to add in at least a cheap sealer else bare cement will eat all your paint.

Assume you have a pickup truck or van to carry all the paints.

Note that the labour price excludes paint itself. Depending on how good the paint needs to be, can use cheap matex whites, or if colour is involved - starting from cheap $35 matex colours to atas paints. Paints are not cheap so you will need to get the surface area of the walls to be painted, then work backwards for costing (one 18L can cover how many sq meter and one 18L cost how much). Also consider gloss paint if you also need to do the doors/grills.

Professional or not its basically not that hard, its tiring AF.
Dilution of paints, for undercoat/first fcoat can mix more water, final coat 10% will give solid colour.
